Verdict: Which game is better?

Though BGMI and PUBG Mobile Lite are both compatible with 2 GB RAM Android devices, the performance quality of the former will be poor. As BGMI is graphics-rich and requires more device resources, players will experience lag, stutter issues, and frame drops after 20-30 minutes of gaming.

PUBG Mobile Lite will be a much better performer on 2 GB RAM smartphones as it requires minimal device resources to run. However, players should not expect frame rates of more than 40 FPS on such devices.
